Have you ever picked up a bug in the hospital?

I use to not be so worried about being in the hospital until I went to this site and learned that you can come home with a new bug in your system, the only thing Im afraid of getting is B. Cepacia and if I ever have to go into the hospital I think I would be a germ freak for sure and would make sure EVERYONE washed their hands especially docs and nurses.

I caught pneumonia for the first time while having my gallbladder out at 16 yrs. Until then, I was just fine. It seems I catch something almost every time I go in- a cold usually. The best one was mouth ulcers. Yes, mouth ulcers. They were passing medicated mouthwash around the floor like milkshakes... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif" border="0">

I would probably do IVs a lot more often if I didn't have to go in for at least a day or two before home IVs first. But when I am sick already (usually from a couple of colds in a row) and go in, catch another one, and finish my IVs, and probably have to do another round because of the new cold, it just doesn't seem worth it, unless I'm really, really sick. I also get tired of being sick and having to keep an eye on everyone who comes into my room and be a "germ control freak" just to not get sicker... I take my own vest system when I go now, too.

That MRSA article freaked me out a little when I saw it on the news here. *sigh* I hate having to go into the hospital....

Oh, and<i> then</i>, while checking on PA in tap water, I came across a lovely article about PA contamination in water faucets in the hospital rooms...It's gonna be handsanitizer by the bucketload in my room from now on...

Here' s a short bit of the study/article:

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>A high number of transmissions were shown to occur both from faucet to patient and from patient to faucet. Our SICU served as an epicenter for the spread of P. aeruginosa to peripheral wards. It appears prudent to follow strict hygienic precautions such as wearing gloves and performing thorough alcoholic rub disinfection of hands after patient care and after hand washing at locations known to harbor.</end quote></div>

I got MRSA in a sort of hospital. I worked in a retirement home when I was 16, and I got MRSA from the sick old people. So that sort of counts. Not the same exact thing, but a similar environment.
